Popular comedian and television host Vic Sotto has thrown his full support behind the Philippine national men’s basketball team at the Mall of Asia Arena.

For the second time in the tournament, Sotto attended a match on Wednesday night to support Gilas Pilipinas, especially his son-in-law Marc Pingris. This time, he was with girlfriend and “Eat Bulaga” co-host Pauleen Luna.

Even as a member of the audience during the Philippines-Hong Kong match, ‘Bossing’ Vic was able to leave the crowd in stitches. When the ball went out of bounds directly to him, he grabbed it and squared up as if preparing to shoot a jumper at the basket, much to the delight of the crowd.

That moment added a bit of levity to help ease up the fans, who were tense for a good chunk of the match as Gilas had trouble putting away its lightweight opponent.

According to Pingris, it was his first time to see his father-in-law squaring up for a shot.
